In June 2003, the Sacred Heart cathedral in Rochester, NY closed to undergo extensive renovation.  Included in the project was this white oak pulpit, restored by Oakwood Woodworks.  I was contracted to reproduce all of the formerly plaster ornament in real wood, including angels, rosettes, and gothic tracery.

Below are the 6 angels, carved in white oak, about 9" tall.

I supplied 5 sets of this oak tracery.

These rosettes are carved in mahoghany because they will be gilded.  There are 10 of the large and 55 of the small.
